CHANGES COMING IN EMPLOYMENT REGS

Changes are com­ing for both pub­lic and pri­vate employ­ers in Ohio.

In an event spon­sored by the Pauld­ing County Eco­nomic Devel­op­ment Agency, some folks who attended heard about changes at the Ohio Bureau of Work­ers’ Com­pen­sa­tion, job train­ing pro­grams and more on Wednes­day.

In what is being called a big change, both pub­lic and pri­vate employ­ers will be see­ing Bureau of Work­ers’ Com­pen­sa­tion pre­mi­ums being paid prospec­tively instead of ret­ro­spec­tively.

Cur­rently, pre­mi­ums from Ohio employ­ers are paid after the fact.

Under a new plan, Ohio’s pre­mi­ums will be paid on a more timely basis start­ing in 2015.
